Molyneux’s next project is “very, very, different.”

Peter Molyneux isn't letting us know much about his next game, but it'll …

Say what you like about Peter Molyneux, the one thing you can't claim is that the man behind Lionhead Studios works on run-of-the-mill titles. With Fable 2 pretty much wrapped up and Pub Games already released (and patched), Sir Peter has revealed that his studio is already working on a new project that is apparently far different from anything it's done in the past. Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz at the GC Asia conference last week, let a couple of details slip about his next game. By "details", we actually mean "vague promises that don't reveal much of anything."

"We've actually been working on another project now for a while, and obviously it's ridiculously ambitious, but it's ridiculously ambitious in a very simple way," he said in the interview. "It's a simple and pure idea, and very, very different to anything I've done before... It's certainly different to what you might think Lionhead would do."

Rumors over the past few months have hinted at an MMO from Lionhead. There is little about an MMO that's simple and pure in terms of concepts, but such a title would definitely be an ambitious project for the developer. Of course, my concept of something unexpected from Lionhead would involve a version of a Japanese dating sim, but that's just me.
